When a hard drive member of a RAID 0 volume fails or is disconnected, the RAID 0 volume is reported as "Failed." If either of these scenarios occurs, the RAID 0 volume and its data are no longer accessible.
The RAID 0 volume can be recovered if a hard drive member is disconnected, but cannot be recovered if one has failed. To recover, refer to the applicable procedure below:
Missing Hard Drive Member
- Make sure the system is powered off.
- Reconnect the missing hard drive.
- Power on the system. During the system startup, the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager option ROM user interface will display the RAID 0 volume as "Normal."
- After the operating system is running, select Intel Matrix Storage Console from the Start menu or click the Intel Matrix Storage Manager tray icon.
- From the View menu, select Advanced Mode to see a detailed view of device storage information.
- Right-click the RAID 0 volume in the device pane to confirm that it is operating normally. The status in the information pane will display as "Normal."
Failed Hard Drive Member
Note: When a hard drive member of a RAID 0 volume has failed, the RAID 0 volume cannot be recovered and any data on the RAID 0 volume is lost. This procedure deletes the failed RAID 0 volume.
- Make sure the system is powered off.
- Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity.
- Power on the system. During the system startup, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM user interface will display the RAID 0 volume status as "Failed," prompting you to press Ctrl-I to enter the user interface.
- Press Ctrl-I to enter the "MAIN MENU."
- Select option 2 in the main menu to "Delete RAID Volume."
- In the "DELETE VOLUME MENU," select the failed RAID 0 volume using the up and down arrow keys.
- Press the Delete key to delete the volume.
- Press Y to confirm the deletion.
- Create a new RAID 0 volume. If the failed hard drive was a part of the system volume, you will also need to reinstall the operating system.
